"Regular federal government work days is 251..."

Regular federal government work days is 251. Assuming a M-F work week it computes like this: 365 days a year, subtract 104 for weekends and 10 days for Federal Holidays and you end up with 251.
This does not include other days that might be granted such as snow storms or flooding rains and hurricanes, earthquakes or other disasters which are governed more regional. E.g., just because Washington, D.C. gets a snow day does not mean New Orleans, La. will. And this also does not include vacation time by employees since the government office would still be open and operated by other employees.
Hope this helps.

Quick answer: No. The Federal Reserve is prohibited from purchasing Treasury Bonds "directly" from the U.S. government.
Instead, they send the bonds to a broker, then the Federal Reserve can purchase them from the broker.
Also, the Federal Reserve is no more `federal` than Federal Express (FedEx), they are a private bank and NOT a part of federal government.

It depends on what country you are living in, the question is most often asked as what percentage does the federal government take out of my check. Most of the Canadian government takes out 12-14% annually however in some states of US, the government takes out a minimum of 10% and maximum of 15% annually from your pay check as FED.

When the government is selling securities (t bonds), it is trying to decrease the money supply. Decreasing the money supply in turn increases the demand which raises interest rates. This is usually done when the economy is in expansion and the fed is trying to put downward pressure on inflation.

I might be wrong here, but I think when the government buys bonds, they are trying to increase the money supply. They are injecting money into the circular flow when they buy bonds, not taking money out. When they sell bonds that is when they are decreasing the money supply.
